This part-time online evening course is ideal for construction industry employees to upskill in Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes and software using Autodesk® Revit® and associated packages. The course is mostly funded under the SOLAS Skills to Advance programme, meaning the participants need only pay 30% of the course fee themselves.
‘Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative way of working underpinned by digital technologies, which allow for more efficient methods of designing, delivering and maintaining physical built assets throughout their entire lifecycle.’
– Building Information Modelling and collaborative construction, British Standards Institute.

Progression Following The Course
Our aim is that our graduates will combine their new knowledge and skills gained through this course with their on-the-job experience, whether through their regular employment or a work placement, to develop their career in the BIM industry. Graduates of our previous BIM courses at this level have gone on to further their careers in the BIM industry in Dublin and country-wide, working in a wide variety of disciplines and roles, including: BIM Modeller, MEP, Structural Engineering, Architecture, Project Management, Facilities Management, BIM Coordinator and BIM Manager. Other graduates have progressed to Level 8 and 9 courses in BIM.
Entry Criteria
This course is suitable for employed people who wish to develop their expertise in BIM. Experience in the construction sector is an advantage, but it is not a prerequisite to have a formal qualification in this area.
